Did you ever wonder how you'd know if your firewall is doing the job? (You are using a firewall, right? No? Go here. Now.) In most cases you wouldn't know you didn't until it was too late - after an infection or compromise of some sort. Steve Gibson's an internet security guru, and his site Gibson Research is coming to be known as the place for security tests and related utilities. I really have only two qualms about the site: it can be a little difficult to navigate, and Steve tends to use what I'd consider to be fairly alarmist wording. But don't let that get in the way ... in particular, visit his "Sheild's Up" security checking tool. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to see just how vulnerable you may be. If you don't have a firewall, you may find yourself running out to get one soon after you run the tests. • Recent Comments
Steve: Love the show. I got the TOR client running without any problem as I want to download and watch new BBC shows. They can only be downloaded if the client is in the UK. I thought TOR could solve that problem by having my U.S. address wormhole its way to England. In spite of a lot of research, I cannot get the endpoint to be a specific TOR node via the config file; I keep coming out in Germany or Italy. Ideas? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayerbeta/ Posted by: allan levene at September 26, 2007 11:19 AMPost a comment on "Gibson Research":
